When it comes to classic sports car manufacturers, Triumph stands out as one of the greats. The Triumph motor company has manufactured cars since the 1920s and carved out a niche for itself under British Leyland in the 1960s, producing some of the best-loved sports cars of its generation. The TR series of roadsters were known for being some of the best and last analog roadsters in existence. The simple formula of a rear-wheel drive, open-top, two-seater was enough to propel the TRs into the hearts and minds of many. The Triumph TR6 was one of the last of the true analog sports cars and was a hit in the United States. It features crisp and modern styling compared to the TR5 it replaced, as well as a 2.5-liter straight-six engine with the relatively new advent of fuel injection under the hood. Our featured car is resplendent in red and features a reportedly low mileage of 72,000.
Exterior and Interior
The Triumph TR6 was a departure from the series’ traditional design, which had commonly been penned by Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti. The result was an all-new body from German design house Karmann. The TR6 featured a stylish and taught new design language, with circular headlights and crisp, timeless lines. Our featured car is painted in a bright red exterior color, featuring a black soft top and chrome wire-spoke wheels. These period-perfect rims feature knock-off style centers, and conceal disc brakes up front with drums at the rear. You’ll also find they’re wrapped in brand new tires, as reported by the current owner. Moving inside, you’ll find a tan-colored leather interior. The driver is presented with a large-diameter wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, with the Triumph crest at its center. Behind the wheel are two large Smiths gauges, including a 140-mph speedometer and tachometer. Towards the center of the dashboard, you’ll find more gauges to keep track of water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage.
Engine
Under the forwards-opening bonnet lies an inline-six 2.5-liter engine featuring twin carburetors. The owner reports that all recent maintenance is up to date, while power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
The 1969 Triumph TR6 Roadster is one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars, blending classic styling with a raw, engaging driving experience. Introduced as the successor to the TR5/TR250, the TR6 featured updated styling by Karmann while retaining the robust mechanical foundation that made Triumph roadsters so coveted among enthusiasts. This example, showing just 26,501 miles, presents beautifully in Signal Red and captures the essence of vintage open-top motoring. With its inline-six engine, manual transmission, and lightweight construction, the TR6 offers a pure, analog driving experience that has become increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1974 Triumph TR6 represents one of the final evolutions of Britain’s classic roadster formula—simple, mechanical, and built purely for driving enjoyment. With just 43,019 miles, this example stands as a well-preserved piece of analog motoring history, finished in the highly desirable Mimosa Yellow over a black interior. Known for its torquey inline-six and unmistakable styling, the TR6 became a favorite among enthusiasts for its balance of performance and character. This particular car retains its classic charm while benefiting from tasteful upkeep, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone looking to experience vintage open-top driving at its finest.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!

Ah, Triumph. One of those sadly defunct British sports car makers responsible for giving us some truly awesome pint-sized roadsters to drive enthusiastically. The British really got the whole less is more thing down to an art form during much of the 20th century. They perfected the recipe of small dimensions, modestly-sized but revvy engines and chuckable driving dynamics to a great extent. The Triumph GT6 was something a little more than your typical British sports car. For starters it was a proper, fixed-head coupe and it came with a straight six under the hood. That’s what we have for sale today, a 1973 Triumph GT6 from Clearwater, Florida. It’s got just over 33,000 miles, a 2.0-liter straight six, a manual gearbox and all the charm you’d expect from a classic British car. Why not make it your own, then?
